Active Ingredient

Description

Bupron SR® is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries in a form of sustained-release tablets, which can be taken less frequently due to a specific formulation.

Bupron SR® belongs to the group of medications called antidepressants. Its active component Bupropion Hydrochloride significantly decreases Nicotine and Tobacco addiction. It inhibits the re-uptake of a certain chemical substance in the brain called neurotransmitters (noradrenaline and dopamine) alleviating cravings and other withdrawal symptoms like restlessness, headaches, irritability, hunger, difficulty with concentration, or just feeling awful.

Bupron SR® can increase chances of success to quit smoking if the individual combines it with nicotine replacement therapies (NRTs) such as nicotine patches or gum.

Bupron SR® is also known to treat HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder) in females who do not suffer from depression. Bupropion Hydrochloride effectively increases libido as well as interest in engaging in sexual activity. The positive results were noticed in as early as two weeks from the start of treatment.
